Thanks a lot! I totally forgot to explain what a card protector is, so sorry about that.A card protector is something a poker player places on his or her cards to keep the other players from peeking at them while they are on the table. And that is it, it does not have many functions this snowman.

I made this card protector for a poker player: It is about 4 cm (1,6 inches) across, and is made with a glas orb placed on a bottle cap as a base. To give it proper weight and stability. I wrapped the orb and the cap in plaster bandages, and later on sculptured the face with paper clay. The teeth and the eyes are made with polymer clay though.

It seems to be working out as a card protector, since the poker player wants two more of them.

I like both the striping and the colour, and above all, they are so well done!!! I have been trying to make socks for seven months now, but I can't figure out how a heel is done. I just don't get it and can not understand the pattern. But enough about that, your socks are really really beautiful!
